Model Training

Not Supported

This library is a dedicated runtime engine for inference serving and does not train models.

Model Inference

Supported
Inference Accelerators:
CPU
Deployment Targets:server

What It Does

  • +Pytest integration allowing unit testing LLMs with standard assert_test(test_case, metrics)
  • +G-Eval: state-of-the-art framework implementing customizable evaluation criteria using Chain-of-Thought reasoning
  • +Comprehensive built-in metrics: Hallucination, Faithfulness, Toxicity, Bias, Answer Relevancy, Summarization, and SQL Generation correctness
  • +Automated red-teaming synthetic vulnerability generation

What It Does Not Do

  • -Train base foundation models or update neural weights
  • -Serve low-latency production APIs directly
  • -Replace application performance monitoring tools like Prometheus

>Suitable Work Types

  • Writing automated pytest regression suites for production prompt engineering in GitHub Actions
  • Validating that system prompt updates do not increase hallucination or toxicity scores
  • Testing text-to-SQL generation accuracy against schema definitions

>Unsuitable Work Types

  • Classical tabular time series modeling
  • Real-time per-second edge streaming execution
Data Residency Implications

Runs locally inside developer workstations and private CI/CD runners. Local LLM models (e.g. via Ollama) can serve as judges for zero cloud data transmission.

Security Considerations

Apache-2.0 license with unrestricted commercial use.

Operational Profile & Known Limitations

Maturity:mature
Learning Curve:low
Ops Complexity:low
Cost Tier:free-oss
> Known Limitations:
  • Default configuration prompts external LLMs for evaluation unless custom local Ollama/vLLM endpoints are explicitly passed to metrics.
